Amelie Lens has always commanded the world’s biggest stages with precision and power — but this week, the Belgian DJ and producer stepped into an entirely different kind of spotlight. In a deeply personal Instagram post, Lens revealed that she has suffered her second miscarriage, using her platform to shed light on a reality that remains shrouded in silence.
Her first loss happened mid-flight to India, before the birth of her daughter Kiki. She recalls landing, visiting two hospitals in Delhi, and still playing her show that night — sustained only by painkillers and sheer will. This time, her pregnancy ended just two months in, after a slow heartbeat detected in an earlier scan stopped completely.
“
One in five pregnancies ends in miscarriage. I did not know that. Nobody told me.

The Invisible Grief
When miscarriage happens, she says, "it often feels like you can’t tell anyone — not because it’s private, but because no one knew you were pregnant to begin with. You start dreaming about this little human, make space in your heart, your future changes… and suddenly you are mourning a baby no one else even knew was coming.”
She rejects the notion that miscarriage is something to hide. “I wish it was normal to say it out loud. That if someone asked ‘how are you?’ I could say ‘not well, I might lose my baby’ instead of smiling and saying ‘fine.’”
It’s a call for openness in a world — and an industry — that thrives on image and resilience. Miscarriage, she says, is “invisible grief,” too often compounded by misplaced questions about “why” it happened. Most of the time, there is no why — only nature making an impossible choice.

As she faces the physical process of recovery in the coming days, Lens remains determined to perform. “Music heals me and there is no place I would rather be than in my DJ booth, with my husband by my side.”
In an industry defined by euphoric peaks and relentless pace, her words land as a quiet, unflinching truth: behind the lights and the beats, there are stories we rarely hear — and voices that need to be heard.

One in five pregnancies ends in miscarriage. I did not know that. Nobody told me.
Before Kiki, I miscarried on a flight to India. I went to 2 hospitals in Delhi and still played my show that night on painkillers. I don’t know why I did not tell anyone.. The moment I found out I was pregnant, I felt like a mom. You start dreaming about this little human, make space in your heart, your future changes. And suddenly you are mourning a baby no one else even knew was coming.
I am so grateful for my beautiful, healthy girl Kiki 💖
A few weeks ago, I found out I was pregnant again. Last week I lost some blood but the ultrasound still showed a heartbeat, it was slow, I was afraid but there was still hope. But last night’s scan showed no more heartbeat. I should be 2 months today. And just like before, no one even knew I was pregnant, which makes it feel like I cannot tell anyone what I am going through. Again.
I wish it was normal to say it out loud. To say we are pregnant when it’s still early and how high chances are to miscarry. That if someone asked “how are you?” I could have said “not well, I might lose my baby” but instead, I smiled and said “fine.”
I am not sharing this for sympathy. I am sharing it so other couples or women know they are not alone. Miscarriage is invisible grief. And when people ask “why?” it makes us feel like it is something we did. But most of the time there is no why. Often it is just chromosome abnormalities, nature making a choice.
Miscarriage happens more than we think. The silence makes it even harder and I do not want any woman or couple to feel as alone as we did.
My body has not started bleeding, so I’ll be going through a (maybe painful) process in the next days to help my body release everything safely. My doctor says I can still do my shows this week, on pain medicine. Music heals me and there is no place I would rather be than in my DJ booth, with my husband by my side.
Much love,
Amelie
